The game can be summed up in these two words. Incredible presentation and core gameplay put down by extremely weird choices.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Like what? I've heard people complain about the intermission tracks but not much else.

The Complaints Topic - Mario Kart World
For Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "The Complaints Topic".
gamefaqs.gamespot.com
The open world being empty ass, apparently even worse rubber banding than Mario kart 64, a stupid way of unlocking extra characters, battle games being lame. Again I don't have the game, but this doesn't seem like new and improved.
Mario Kart 8 launched with 32 tracks, 30 characters, lacked Battle Mode, 200CC/Mirromode, a lot of vehicles - it took 10 years for it to get to its current state.
Mario Kart World is likely to get at least a comparable amount of post launch support likely leaning more into the Open World aspects of the game and the multiplayer experience.
Right now we are looking at the vanilla game, and 80+ is a fair score considering how casual multiplayer games rarely hit 90+. A lot of the lower scores are because of the price / empty open world - rather than the key gameplay elements or how fun it is to play with friends online/locally. When the majority of new owners actually paid $50 for it the price shouldn't really be an issue.
To be such a system seller I reckon critical reception vs actual player recepetion has diverged a lot, you don't sell a record breaking amount of systems on the back of just a "decent" game. In the end World is what Nintendo reckons will sell its more expensive online service and game chat to early addopters. They will be continuing to build upon this solid foundation for the next decade.
No doubt for them the target is to end up close in terms of overall sales to Mario Kart 8 provided that the Switch 2 is also 8+ years without a successor.

Damn, that's a long list lol. Hope they are able to improve it and that they do so for free with some updates instead of DLCs.

Yes. Some are subjective, and some are definitely not, especially with decades of preparation.
And the following is not personally to you, but this attitude of "the game launched with nothing! But don't worry, dlc/updates will fix it" is absolutely terrible. It allows these giant corps to just fling out every turd unpolished/unfinished to then "make better/improve" when the money tap is already on, usually with way too much time taken. It's horrible.

Now imagine if this wasn't as foggy or as washed out.
